[Tccc] CFP: IEEE ANTS 2010

4th International IEEE Conference on Advanced Networks and
Telecommunication Systems (ANTS)
IEEE ANTS 2010

www.ieee-ants.org/2010
First Call for Papers

*Sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society.*

Scope: Broadband networks are witnessing a rapid convergence in both
technologies and delivered services. Next-generation services require
unified and scalable technologies spread across the network protocol
layers, facilitating a converged service model across all partitions of
the network. Advanced integrated systems and network platforms have
benefits in terms of deployment cost as well as the ability to provision
new services. Motivated by the tremendous success of the first three
IEEE ANTS events in Mumbai in 2007 and 2008 and New Delhi in 2009, which
highlighted advances in systems and networking, the theme of IEEE ANTS
2010 continues to be communication systems and networking technologies
for realizing converged ubiquitous broadband connectivity. To achieve
this goal, the conference will feature a technical program of previously
unpublished papers, tutorials, talks, and panels on relevant topics
bringing together experts from academia, industry, government, and the
user community who are involved in the research, design, development,
deployment, regulation, and application of communication and networking
technologies. The conference will cover technologies that facilitate
broadband connectivity and cover advances in the service, networking,
transport, and user equipment domains. Making ubiquitous broadband
affordable is driving service providers, network operators, and OEMs
(Original Equipment Manufacturers) towards converged network solutions
and services as a way to reduce CAPEX and OPEX. Further, cost-effective
research and development partnerships with knowledge economies in India,
China, and Eastern Europe are being increasingly leveraged as can be
gauged by the growth of ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers) and
software service providers. IEEE ANTS 2010 provides a common meeting
ground for the confluence and exchange of ideas with a rich mix of
participation from academia, global industry, and other stakeholders.
The conference will be held in the financial capital of India - Mumbai -
during December 16-18, 2010.
Recognizing the growth of IEEE ANTS in the past three years, IEEE ANTS
2010 will feature three areas covering a variety of topics consistent
with the theme of Converged Networks. These areas are:

1. Core Telecom Networks (including topics such as):
- Optical networks
- ROADMs, OXC architectures
- Carrier Ethernet
- Core network architectures and protocols
- Router and switch architectures: IP, SONET/SDH, MSPP
- Multi-domain and multi-layer transport networks
- Storage networks

2. Access Telecom Networks (including topics such as):
- FTTX Networks
- First-mile access networks
- Passive Optical Networks (PON)
- Wireless access networks and WiMax
- Access network architectures and protocols
- Other access networks: ADSL, DOCSIS, VDSL, Cable, etc.
- Cloud computing

3. Network Applications (including topics such as):
- Data security, Content processing/billing, OSS
- IPTV, Video-on-Demand, Telepresence
- Topics in telecommunications
- Mobile backhaul
- Digital Rights Management
- Energy-Efficient networking

Submissions: Authors are encouraged to submit a three-page extended
abstract via EDAS (http://edas.info). Papers will be reviewed for
technical content and scope by a technical program committee. All
accepted and presented papers would be digitally archived through IEEE
Xplore. To achieve wide participation, no author may submit more than
TWO papers to the conference. If a person is a co-author on more than
two papers, only two of these papers will be selected for review and the
other papers will be rejected without review.

Important Dates:
Paper submissions: July 31, 2010.
Notification of acceptance: October 1, 2010.
Registration deadline for authors: October 31, 2010.
Conference dates: December 16-18, 2010.
